Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More! Chapter 75

Hearing the words of denial from the Queen Blossom, Cortina was montarily stumped. Naturally, she wasnt demanding for her to hand the nectar over without conditions, for she had offered appropriate compensation.

Money held no significance to the Treants that inhabited forests. Hence, what Cortina offered was instead a high-quality fertilizer. To be more accurate, it was the corpse of the Fire Giant from before.

Strong monsters had equally high Magic Power contained within. If they let it fernt, it would turn into a magically-rich fertilizer. For the Treants, that shouldve been nothing short of a feast, a well-balanced remuneration for the nectar.

Even so, the Queen Blossom refused the offer.

Why is that? That shouldve been an appropriate compensation

Well, let explain first. To start, we are currently in our multiplication season.

Multiplication of the Treants. In other words, it was a season where the Queen Blossom sprouted her seeds. There were also cases where old trees turned into Treants on a Magic-filled soil, but the increase of their ranks through that phenonon wasnt a planned activity.

The sprouted saplings need the nectar. I dont have enough of it to share with others.

But If you turn the Fire Giants corpse into fertilizer, would it not increase the nectar production?

Of course, its possible to do that. However, the problem is the soil. It would barely show the desirable effect on these barren lands.

She was right. This was a high mountain area with nothing but rocks around, hardly a place for plants to get their nourishnt.

However, the question remained. What led them to co here? To even resort to taking over the Fire Giants habitat?

Even I realized that inconsistency, so there was no way Cortina hadnt. Thus, she voiced that question.

Then why here? If its nourishnt, surely the forest below had it in abundance.

It happened a few weeks ago, we were attacked by the thieves.

Thieves? In the Treants territory?

Cortina couldnt afford to step down here. Both sides had childrens lives at stake. Of course, it was possible to take it by force. But trampling down on soone we could converse with would leave a bad taste in our mouths.

Both of us are acting to protect the young. However, we would rather avoid taking it by force.

Mgh

The Queen Blossom was well aware that she was talking with powerful individuals who had slain the Evil Dragon before. While she left those two Treants behind as guards, we werent so villagers who could be subdued with just that.

If we took a violent approach, the only fate that awaited them was a one-sided trampling.

Wait, stop, Cortina. Such impatient isnt like you, you know?

Eh Ah, I guess?

Hearing Maxwells casual call, she finally realized that she was at her wits end. That was just how much importance she put on my life.

Calm down, Cortina. Nicoles matter is naturally important, but its nothing for you to get so worked up about, is it?

That may be true. I just dont want to let any of my comrades die again

Maria patted her shoulders and cald her down. Her small mutter made realize the reason behind her impatience.

As expected, it was my death. It pressured her to not let anyone else die.

Then Lets do this.

Then, the Queen Blossom offered us another proposal. She understood full well how disadvantageous her position was. If we used force, there would be nothing she could do, hence there was no rit for her to keep up the stubborn act.

She decided that proposing a bargaining point would break in the deadlock of the matter.

We arent so keen on getting annihilated. However, we would like to leave the nectar for our seeds.

We understand that.

Let finish. I also know that you need my nectar for that child.

Thats right.

Then, the Queen Blossom directed her gaze towards the mountains foot. There spread the woodland full of rich soil.

If we return to the forest, the nectar production would increase. We have the Giants corpse too.

Then-

Let finish, I said. However, if we return there so defenselessly, our seeds may get stolen once again. They already slipped past our eyes once, after all.

The seeds produced by a Queen Blossom gave birth to the Queen Blossoms larvasto the Alraune. The Alraune evolved into Dryads, and one of them eventually beca a Queen Blossom.

However, those seeds could also be used as a dicine to prolong ones life. In other words, they could fetch a high price.

Those robbers had already slipped past their defenses and stole the seeds. And since they managed to do it once, they could manage the sa again. The Queen Blossom wanted to avoid that.

As such, I would like you to catch the culprits. You may kill them or arrest them. Just make sure they never co here again.

I see. If the culprits are gone, then you would no longer have to worry about your seeds getting stolen and could return to the mountain foot.

And if you return there, the rich soil and the Giants corpse would speed up the nectar production Is what you an, huh?

Indeed, that can be done But the ti

It would be good if we could co to an agreent with this.

From the start, the bla lay in the side that pillaged In other words, humans. Cleaning after soones ss was vexing, but the forceful approach wasnt what we intended either.

As such, compromising on this was the most sensible choice. The only problem left was whether I could hold out before the culprits were arrested, but my condition wasnt sothing so severe.

Cortina, Im okay with that.

Nicole Right, this should be a good compromise. Understood, we will beat those culprits to a pulp then.

I did not say to beat them to a pulp But I suppose it does the job the sa.

Cortina and the Queen Blossom shook their hands and their agreent ca to a close.

And just like that, searching for the culprits that stole the seeds beca our next goal.
